Plot

edit

The whole series itself is a TV series adaptation of the biographical film of the same name.

The first season deals with Naresuan's boyhood, when he was taken hostage by Burmese King Bayinnaung to keep the rebellious Ayutthaya Kingdom as a vassal state. During this time, he was a novice Buddhist monk under the tutelage of a wise father-figure monk (Sorapong Chatree).

The second season focuses on Naresuan as a young and formidable military strategist who leads his army on a series of campaigns against breakaway kingdoms for King Bayinnaung's successor, Nanda Bayin, until he eventually revolts to free Siam.

The third and final season depicts Naresuan's leadership of the Ayutthaya kingdom and his fight against the Toungoo Empire.
